2003 to 2007 Honda Accord brake lamp indicator on

Fix it your self. Brake lamp indicator will turn on if your parking brake is on or your brake fluid level is low.
If brake fluid level is in proper level and parking brake is off and still brake lamp on, most likely your brake master cylinder float is stuck at the bottom inside the master cylinder. This light may also trigger the VSA and the TCS light to come on.

To fix this, do the ff:
1. It doesn't matter if the key is off or on.
2. Get a big magnet like the magnet in the speaker. maybe about 4" in diameter and a screw driver.you just need the handle. It don't matter if flat or philip.
3. Set the magnet on top of master cylinder. Not on top of the cap. But on the flat surface above the master cylinder.
4. Tap the side of the master cylinder to unstuck the float and the magnet will pull the float up.

If this didn't work, flip the magnet and tap the side of the master cylinder again. Start the engine to see if the light is still ON
